Homework will be used to reinforce the concepts we work on in class.

I will be sending a homework calendar home with your child each month. Five assignments per week need to be completed in order to get credit. What needs to be turned in The family project MUST be turned in. Each week the poetry folders and Read and Review folders MUST be turned in on Mondays. All other completed assignments are just to be initialed on the calendar and returned at the end of the month. Required assignments * Family Projects- Each month there is a family project that needs to be completed AND returned. I would like for the project to be worked on as a family. The projects range from decorating a school house to disguising a turkey. Have fun with these projects@ * Poetry folder- Throughout the year, your child will learn a poem, song, or nursery rhyme each week. Poetry Journals will be utilized in the classroom MondayThursday. They will be in your childs backpack on Thursdays. If the poem is not in the prongs, please place it behind the poem from the previous week. There will be an assignment at the top of the page for your child to complete. The assignment should be added to the back of the poem. Please make sure your child touches each word as they read. They should practice reading their poems Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to help promote good reading habits! Parents should initial the small box at the top of the poem once completed. Poetry Folders should be returned by Monday. By the end of the year, students will have a collection of poems that they can read! *Mathlinks- As we learn new math concepts, I will send home practice sheets. Please have your child complete the work, but do NOT send them in with your child. *Read and Review- As we learn new letters, sounds, words, books, numbers, and concepts, students will bring home completed work on FRIDAYS, in their Read and Review Folders.. It is imperative that you provide your child the opportunity to discuss what is on the papers and projects and that you give them the opportunity to read their books to you. Read and Review Folders are due back on Monday. * You and your child will be allowed to choose the other two assignments from the homework calendar.
